Description
Overview of the medicine
Nerviton is a multivitamin supplement containing a combination of B-complex vitamins essential for nerve health, energy metabolism, and overall well-being. It helps to prevent and treat B-vitamin deficiencies.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
1-2 tablets daily or as directed by the physician.
Elderly
Same as adult dosage, usually no special adjustment needed.
Renal_impairment
Generally no dosage adjustment required, but consult a physician for severe cases.
How to Take
Administer orally, with or without food. Can be taken at any time of the day.
Mechanism of Action
B-complex vitamins act as coenzymes in various metabolic pathways, including carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. They are vital for cellular energy production, nervous system function, and red blood cell formation.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Effects are generally observed within hours to days, depending on the deficiency level.
Excretion
Primarily excreted unchanged or as metabolites in the urine due to their water-soluble nature.
Half life
Variable depending on the specific vitamin; water-soluble vitamins typically have short half-lives and are not stored in significant amounts.
Absorption
B-vitamins are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, primarily in the small intestine.
Metabolism
Metabolized in the liver (e.g., nicotinamide) into active coenzyme forms.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to any of the active ingredients or excipients.
Drug Interactions
Levodopa
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) may reduce the effectiveness of Levodopa in Parkinson's disease treatment.
Certain antibiotics
Some antibiotics might interfere with B-vitamin absorption, though generally not significant with typical doses.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose is rare due to the water-soluble nature of B vitamins. Excessive intake may lead to mild gastrointestinal upset or yellow discoloration of urine. Very high, long-term doses of pyridoxine can cause peripheral neuropathy.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe and often recommended during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands. However, consult a physician before use.
